Our Teachers
We are honored to have experienced, energetic, creative and caring teachers!
Lee Ann Delaney
Lee Ann is Trinity Nursery School’s director and teaches in both the three and the four-year-old classes, as well as the Adventure Camp. She attended Northwestern Connecticut Community College for Early Childhood Education and Business and is also an artist and professional musician. She has taught guitar lessons throughout the years.

Lee Ann has collaborated with a variety of early childhood educators to integrate music and movement into their programs (The United Way, Greater Hartford YWCA, Connecticut Parents as Teachers, Torrington and Winsted schools, as well as private family day care centers). She energizes each day with music, rhythm and movement; creates “teachable moments” in language, writing, social studies, math, science, art, dramatic play and physical education. Lee Ann has been teaching at TNS since 2000.
